Lorianís Enterprise

I was watching the Enterprise episode where the ship came from the past as it was thrown back in time during the Xindi incident. The century long vessel had been in battle. I decided to make a version of Lorian’s Enterprise. Before starting I had to generate the ships damage before I could come up with Lorian’s ship. Then I made the changes as I had already made the damage to the ship.

Lorian’s Enterprise NX-01 NX-class (upgrades made to the Enterprise over the century of repairs to the ship from traveling back in time)
Class and Type: NX-Class Warp Five Cruiser
Commissioning Date: 2151, refitted 2153 (while under Lorian command upgrades 2120 and 2140 and 2150)

Re-watching Enterprise I noted something I missed the first few times I watched the show. There are flickering neon like lights mounted on the saucer of Lorainís Enterprise. I thought that they should be given a purpose and it hit on me that they do as they are an add on to the ship. Most ships in the expanse have Trellium-D (spelt correctly I think) lining their hulls but sense there are Vulcanís on the Enterprise they would need something that would protect the ship from the spatial anomalies that are a part of the region.

Spatial Anomaly dampeners
SUís cost: 1 x size
Power cost: 1 x size
These alien dampener suppress the spatial anomalies to most existent the severest such as the highly altered space is unaffected. These devices cannot be replicated as they were salvaged from an alien ship that the crew under Lorainís command rescued. With further research such as years these dampeners would be reproducible but not a quick fix.

One nit-pick. The word is damper, not dampener. To damp something is to restrict it, thus fireplace dampers restrict airflow. To dampen something is to get it wet. This is perhaps the most common mistake in science fiction, bar none, and even frequently is made in Star Trek, but is a mistake nonetheless.

I thought just before I was about to pack it in and go enjoy the sun a little that I would post what I thought that the Enterprise looked like after the fight with the Xindi. This was the version of the ship I based the upgraded Lorianís Enterprise version on. It is beaten and bruised but still is a mostly functional ship here and there.

Enterprise NX-01 NX-class (as of the third season with upgrades and after the battle with the Xindi ships leaving the Enterprise nearly crippled after the fight)
Class and Type: NX-Class Warp Five Cruiser
Commissioning Date: 2151, refitted 2153
